WC: In the eyes of many, Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer to have ever played the game. Sure, there will be some who believe that he can never be thought of as the best until he’s won a World Cup, but that is nonsense. Some may feel Diego Maradona tops the pile, while others would choose Pele, and while it’s all a matter of opinion, one thing that can’t be denied is that the feats he has achieved despite still being just 27 years of age are nothing short of remarkable.
